Gilded Youth - Privilege, Rebellion and the British Public School Brooke-Smith JamesPevná vazba
The British public school is an iconic institution, a training ground for the ruling elite and a symbol of national identity and tradition. James Brooke-Smith wades into the wilder shores of public-school life over the last three hundred years in Gilded Youth. But beyond the elegant architecture and evergreen playing fields is a turbulent history of teenage rebellion, sexual dissidence, and political radicalism.
He uncovers armed mutinies in the late eighteenth century, a Victorian craze for flagellation, dandy-aesthetes of the 1920s, quasi-scientific discourse on masturbation, Communist scares in the 1930s, and the salacious tabloid scandals of the present day.Drawing on personal experience, extensive research, and public school representations in poetry, school slang, spy films, popular novels, and rock music, Brooke-Smith offers a fresh account of upper-class adolescence
